Rechlin to Give Organ Recital at Roberts Park
By THE VISITOR DWARD RECHLIN, noted organist, will appear in recital i———l at the Roberts Park Church cn Wednesday night in a program of Lutheran Church music. This is Rechlin’s fourth national recital tour. He will be presented here under tho auspicies of the city Waither League. Rechlin has the following to say tegarding church music and the organ; “I believe that the organ is the instrument of the church and God. “It alone has the capacity appropriately to express the whole infinite gamut of religious faith and feeling, the majesty and power of God, His love and mercy, the calm strength of faith resting in the drama of redemption. It can preach God with telling effect to restless, seeking,, at times willfull and proud, at times, broken and despairing humanity. “To the lasting shame of the church it must be said that this, its powerful aid, has lost its strength. Its divine, true notes have been changed to the gambols of the harlequin and to the sweetly sentimental lyrics of an age of little faith. “How can we hope for real religious feeling if the growing generation hears in church the strains and rhythms with which It associates the theater, the circus, the dance hall and every impulse toward the pleasure and self-indulgence of a worldly life? “It is true the heart of the hour of worship is the preaching of the word. Yet aa a picture is strengthened or marred by its frame, so the atmosphere of the church leaves a far deeper and more lasting impression than the spoken word. “The church’s music makes the church’s atmosphere. It carries either the sprit of reverence or of irreverence. It comes either from eternity or from this world. It leads Christian people either to faith and eternity or to arrogance and worldllness. “It is imperative to reserve the organ for the divine mission of the church. Purity of preaching cannot go hand in hand with the muddied feelings created by organ music that fits anywhere better than in the house of God.” • • • DR. FRANK S. C.
